Kiss Me, Kate

The Clocktower Centre and Co-Opera are delighted to present KISS ME, KATE by Cole Porter who wrote this now legendary musical version of Shakespeares The Taming of the Shrew. KISS ME, KATE is one of the most famous musical ‘adaptations’ of Shakespeare for the stage and screen.

Co-Operas production of KISS ME, KATE is based on the recently revised version, which re-instates much of the original script that was prudishly cut from the 1948 stage production and the 1953 film. Co-Operas version has more of the swagger and bawdiness of Shakespeares time; it reflects our own times too, such as including a saucy spanking scene!
